Sunbathing naked on your boat.

[Chiara’s slave]

I think you’d all have read about it in the Daily Star if we did.

I would not dream of it. In fact I never "sun bath" If I have to work,sail or walk in the sun I cover up with hat and white colored long sleeve long legged clothing and sun screen. But always seek shade. Yes more than enough sun here and the dangers of skin cancer are very real at my age. Sun burn is very unpleasant.
Now a funny story that many years ago a senior man in our company had a boat and liked to sun bath naked. He did it discretely where he was not seen from shore. He went to sleep, sea breeze came in swung the boat so him in to public view. He was fined for indecent exposure.
Now I am not a prude as such. However society seems to have set up norms for dressing. I don't object to those norms. It is ok for a man to be topless at the beach or in a beach shop but not in a shopping mall. We have a "nude" beach near the city where nakedness is normal and fine. It is on the sea side of a an Army riffle range so owned by federal government and not subject to local council rules. A funny thing I saw once was an army soldier all kitted up trying to clear naked patrons from the beach as they wanted to shoot their riffles.
I wear a long sleeve shirt and hat when swimming and snokelling.
So I see more and more muslim women with head covered. I can imagine it is a culture in grained so they just can't uncover but a real contrast to the skimpy bikinis wore by many women.
So all very interesting. i just go with the flow. I don't want to stand out. ol'will
